Sorry if this topic has been discussed to death. I looked for hreads on it and found none. So, I watched the first series, the British version, and hated it. The main charater is so unappealing and narcissistic and self-serving and everyone seems to pander to him and desire him. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is not too far from the truth in gay culture, but its not a pretty picture and it is not a very affirming view of the possiblities of gay maturity. Are we to be perpetually portrayed as lusty boys that refuse to grow up? I would rather be one of the lesbians in the series who live in this sort of tribe. They were the only appealing characters in this show.
